Main description:

*The gold-standard treatment, available for helping teens for the first time--an adaptation of Christopher G. Fairburn's clinically proven enhanced CBT (CBT-E).
*Broadly applicable: a transdiagnostic approach that can be used on all eating disorders (bulimia, anorexia, binge eating) and at all levels of care, from in- to outpatient.
*Easy to learn and administer, flexible, and adaptable; therapists can adjust methods to clients' physical and developmental needs.
*Critical focus on autonomy--the authors present numerous strategies to engage ambivalent teens, work collaboratively, and actively involve them in decision making.
*Includes clinical examples and downloadable handouts.
